Clinic Visit #2

I have to laugh....  I "pre wrote" today's entry last night.  I was sure it would go like this:

This is already feeling "routine".  Walk in at 7:30 AM, check in at the desk, get called to draw bloods, see Physician Assistant who asks if all is well as she looks over daily log of weigh change, urine output, temperature and blood pressure.

This is followed by a very brief chat with the nephrologist and nurse who take a look at how the incision is healing.

Thumbs up all around and we are out of there in under 2 hours.

Well.  The "thumbs up" part was right but the rest was waaaayyyy off.

To start with the UN Traffic monster caught us going and coming back.  Both trips topped 30 minutes to go 1.5 miles in a cab.

When we walked into the clinic Wednesday at 7:30  the large waiting room was pretty empty.  Today there was no place to sit!  It seems when you have Jewish holidays neither Jewish doctors nor Jewish patients are in but the day after is going to be a busy day!!

We waited an hour to be seen by the Physician's Assistant who summoned the nephrologist to come in so they could make it a duel visit.  It lasted maybe 5 minutes.  Everything was good. Creatinine down to 1.1. Excellent!

This good news was followed by a 90 minute wait for blood to be drawn.  That was horrible.

And after that traffic..... Total trip was over 4 hours for 10 minutes of doctoring.

The next scheduled event is Tuesday Oct 2.  I'm not sure if I will post anything in between. maybe just a brief entry to say hello.
